'''Modern science''' developed in the [[Christian West]] on the basis of the [[Medieval Christian]] conception of [[God]] as a [[rational]] creator, and author of the [[universe]], whose rules would accordingly also be rational and predictable, and which we human beings, as rationas [[creatures]], would be able to discover by use of our God-given intellectual abilities.

* ... the basis of modern [[science]] depends on the assumption that the universe was made by a rational [[Creator]]. An orderly [[universe]] makes sense only if it were designed and created by an orderly Creator (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33). But if [[polytheism]] or [[atheism]] were true, there would be no way to deduce that the universe is, or should be, orderly. [http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/1584#science]
